New Page Review newsletter December 2019

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Harriet

You removed my edition of the Harriet film. I provided sources. A lot of what I discuss is covered elsewhere on wikipedia, as demonstrated by the links I pointed to--unless you actually have doubt as to whether or not there were black slave catchers(there weren't), or actually that Harriet's owner bought a slave and then fell in love with her (though not enough to free her or not buy her in the first place, which required her to escape in the first place), and need some sort of scholarly validation of these things... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.197.184.250 (talk) 17:54, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

DYK credit lines

Hi, please remember to copy the whole credit line for each hook promotion. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:31, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Ah!

Ah! Thanks for popping by. I'll finish prep 3 and then call it a day. Montanabw^(talk) 18:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

I do not appreciate you.

You removed my VERY important "m" in the Plants vs zombies garden warfare thing. Note that this is me declaring war. You will hear from me probably never again but nonetheless you will be D E S T R O Y E D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Troopas7 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for reverting vandalism recently (beating me a lot of times), but I was just wondering why you don't typically leave warnings to the vandals past their first offense. Without doing so, it's hard to report the vandals to AIV since they never received a level 4 warning. — Chevvin 19:55, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

​Not sure what you mean. I thought I did? TheAwesomeHwyh 19:57, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Taking a quick look at your history, it looks like you're giving out level-1 warnings, but not anything past that. Maybe your Huggle settings got messed up somehow? I'm not entirely sure, but I figured I'd let you know that for whatever reason the warnings aren't working properly. — Chevvin 19:59, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

​Huh. Weird. I'll look through my settings now. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

​I don't see an option for it in Huggle's settings. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:03, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm not all that familiar with how Huggle works so I can't really help you, but it just seems really strange that it would just stop after the first warning. — Chevvin 20:09, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

​Yeah. I'm going to try to figure this out before I do any more anti-vandalism work. I will try to update you if I figure out what went wrong. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

​It turns out someone else had this issue too. I think I fixed it by doing this. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:19, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

It looks like it works! Glad I could help, and once again thanks for being so quick with your reverts. — Chevvin 20:26, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

​No problem, and thanks! TheAwesomeHwyh 20:28, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Removed change from Armed Forces of Bosnia and Hercegovina

I made one slight alteration to a wiki regarding Bosnia's Armed Forces. I changed the word "Army" to "Armed Forces" as this is the correct term per the Oxford Concise English Dictionary (a combined Armed Forces is never addressed as an Army. This is linguistically and grammatically incorrect as A combined Armed Forces is a nations whole Armed Forces, an Army is but a nations ground forces. It is also deeply insulting to address non-army service personnel as army members). As such, it does not need a citation. It is already part of the English language. As such, please put my correction back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.80.218 (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry. I was using a semi-automated tool to do anti-vandalism work and I must've accidentally reverted yours. I have put it back. TheAwesomeHwyh 21:48, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Bird sanctuary copy and pastes

Hi. Do you know what's going on with all these bird sanctuary copy and pastes and how did you find them? --kingboyk (talk) 01:55, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

​Hi. It seems to be some sort of class project that keeps happening. I used this search. I would welcome any help- seeing the number I think it might take me an hour to tag them all! See also: the SPI report. TheAwesomeHwyh 01:58, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Goodness. At least we don't have to worry about SPI - from the link you gave me:

> Finally, there's no way I can justify the time to run a check on this many accounts given the lack of damage being done. You're welcome to block any accounts you wish if you think it's warranted, but unless something changes, this should not be handled at SPI.

I'll get a few more deleted for you this evening but I'll be off to bed soon. If you find any accounts which need to be blocked, drop me a line.

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply! --kingboyk (talk) 02:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC) (edit conflict)

​Maybe a bot should be set up to automatically tag pages with the word "Ranganathittu" in them for deletion. Though, there might be false positives, like this page! I think there might have been a WP:AN/I discussion but I'm currently too busy tagging all these pages for deletion to find it. TheAwesomeHwyh 02:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Tagging isn't strictly necessary, really; you could just find a friendly admin to trawl through the list and delete them (that's not an offer ;)).

I've done a few more - the slow part is checking the user contribs to ensure that it's valid for U5. --kingboyk (talk) 02:22, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Yeah. But the problem is these pages keep coming in waves, so even with all this tagging I'm doing, if no one else tags/deletes these pages, by next year there might 400 more of them, maybe even more! Also, I'm currently looking for any other sanctuary names that might be edited like this, will update if I find any. TheAwesomeHwyh 02:27, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

​I think I tagged them all. I still haven't found that other name, though. TheAwesomeHwyh 02:53, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

You tagged one which listed some other sanctuary names but it's gone now ;) This one I have open now might help:

--kingboyk (talk) 03:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

That first batch is all gone now - User:Fastily lived up to their name and zapped what was left while I was writing to you :). --kingboyk (talk) 03:06, 23 January 2020 (UTC) (e/c)

Success! I already found one. TheAwesomeHwyh 03:05, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

This also seems to find one, but with a lot of false positives. TheAwesomeHwyh 03:13, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

There was also an earlier discussion a few months back on my userpage. That's where I got the search to find them. There might also be others, I remember some of them using a different bird sanctuary but I can't find that. TheAwesomeHwyh 02:01, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
